"I
find that love...grows, and that is the shocking thing. You don't
know what you're in for. And it's so much more interesting than
you thought, and you're just sort of going, I feel this." |
|
"My
father's passing was a big catalyst for me to step up to the plate
of being a parent." |
|
"Hi,
I'm the director. Can you imagine?" |
|
I
always thought actresses who are beautiful must have more choices.
But then I read that Michelle Pfeiffer and Julia Roberts--true
beauties--feel that they haven't always had that much control
over their careers, either. I'm sure beauty like that brings its
own set of problems. I've always felt fairly plain". |
|
"
I'm glad to be on the 10 worst dressed list. I'll tell you that.
Because hey, it means I'm that person who's not doing what everybody
else is doing. I get to do it my way. And that's the deal, man.
I like that. I mean, I don't want to be perfect, oh, God, yes,
I made the best dressed. Sorry, it's not going to go that way."
(Diane to Barbara Walters, Feb.2004)

"I
love L.A.'s hidden architectural treasures. From downtown's
movie palaces to sleek modernist masterpieces."
|
|
|
"We
in Los Angeles are so guilty of wiping out our history. The
Ambassador Hotel is the history of Los Angeles... We have to
fight for this."
|
|
"I
would pay more taxes so that others could get the services they
need." |
|
"The
Godfather helped me mature and learn a lot from my colleagues.
Having so many of them all veterans in the field was great"
|
|
"My
twenties were a fearful time because I was very, very ambitious,
and I didn' t really know it. I couldn't even say I wanted to
be an actress. I went to acting school, and I still didn't say
I was an actress, that' s how frightened I was. But I wanted to
learn, and that's the important thing, if you have enough curiosity
to sustain you." |
|
[
On the possibility to get married] "Not for me – count
me out – not my bag!. I don't want to be around someone
who's hard as a rock and I'm this, let's just say, softer person." |
|
"Having
children is so much more important than everything else I have
done. When you're a parent the entire landscape of your life is
entirely obliterated by them." |
|
"I’m
a good collaborator. I think I’m a good team player, and
I think that sometimes I get these roles where I have this opportunity.
And they’re almost invariably romantic comedy." |
|
"I
think for women who are in their 30s, I think they should know
the future is ripe." |
|
[on
her nude scene in "Something's Gotta Give"] "At
this point, does it really matter? Nobody is looking at me the
way I once imagined people would look at me, like with deviant
thoughts. I think they just go, 'Huh. There it is. Intact.'" |
|
[A
proposito di Leonardo Di Caprio] "Mi sono innamorata di lui.
E' bravo, é bellissimo, pieno di talento, così divertente.:
ha tutto quello che dovrebbe avere un compagno ideale. Ah, se solo
avessi 20 anni di meno!". |
|
"I'm
not a natural-born director. Now that I'm actually doing it, I
wonder why everybody wants to in the first place. You have to
think of everything." (Entertainment weekly - 1994) |
|
"I'm
an actress, I'm a drama queen. I get nervous...everyday is like:'OH
MY GOD, CAN I GET THROUGH THE DAY?". |
|
"I
think that people who are famous tend to be underdeveloped in
their humanity skills." |
|
"I
find the same thing sexy in a man now as I always have - humour.
I love it when they are funny. It's to die for." |
|
"Of
course I recognised myself in the roles Woody wrote. I mean, in
Annie Hall particularly. I was this sort of novice who had lots
of feelings but didn't know how to express herself, and I see
that in Annie. I think Woody used a kind of essential quality
that he found in me at that time, and I'm glad he did because
it worked really well in the movie." |
|
"I
build a wall around myself. I'm hard to get to know. Any trait
you have, it gets worse as you go along." |
|
"I
think about dying every single day. I've lost lots of friends,
and they die in the most bizarre ways. It's like 'that can't possibly
be! How could that have happened!' And all I can think is 'that
could have been me.' |
|
"It's
kind of true, you do disappear off the planet if you are a middle-aged
woman, but that has some advatanges as well. Because too much
of my life was spent waiting to be seen. Hoping to be seen, hoping
to be picked. Once you realise that you aren't looked at that
way any more, other things start to happen and you have to depend
on other things to get by." |
